How do I know if my Tor is running?

Why is my Tor not connecting?
You might be on a network that is blocking the Tor network, and so you should try using bridges. Some bridges are built in to Tor Browser and requires only a few steps to enable it. To use a pluggable transport, click "Configure Connection" when starting Tor Browser for the first time.
Why is my Tor Browser not connected?
One of the most common issues that causes connection errors in Tor Browser is an incorrect system clock. Please make sure your system clock and timezone are set accurately. If this doesn't fix the problem, see the Troubleshooting page on the Tor Browser manual.
Do I still need a VPN if I use Tor?
A VPN isn't a requirement to use Tor, but it helps a lot. It encrypts your whole traffic, masking it from the ISP. In short, it's much safer to use Tor with a VPN. Not all VPNs offer Tor features in their product.
Can WIFI detect Tor?
While connected to the Tor network, activity will never be traceable back to your IP address. Similarly, your Internet Service Provider (ISP) won't be able to view information about the contents of your traffic, including which website you're visiting.
Can VPN see Tor activity?
Will the Tor browser hide activities from ISPs? Yes, the Tor browser hides activities from ISPs. However, VPNs encrypt traffic before it even reaches your ISP. So while Tor may make it more difficult for your ISP to see what you're doing online, a VPN will make it impossible.
How do I make sure Tor is connected?
When you start Tor Browser, you will see the Connect to Tor window. This offers you the option to either connect directly to the Tor network, or to configure Tor Browser for your connection.
Can police track Tor users?
There is no way to track live, encrypted VPN traffic.
Using the Tor browser could be suspicious to your ISP and, therefore, to the police. However, you're not going to get in trouble just because it looks a bit suspicious.
